Luo Xiangdong asked me to say hello to Xu Yifan first and ask for leave the next morning if something happened. I made up a reason and sent Xu Yifan a text message. Xu Yifan was used to it and told me to handle my own affairs with peace of mind.
I was destined to have a restless sleep that night. Firstly, I knew there was something small in my stomach, and secondly, I felt really nauseous. And most importantly. I'm worried about what the doctor is going to say to me tomorrow.
I managed to stay up until dawn, and I had never opened my eyes before six o'clock.
I reached out my arm in a daze and touched the phone before I moved. Luo Xiangdong next to him opened his eyes and said, "Are you awake?"
There was no trace of sleep in his eyes. I asked: "You didn't sleep all night?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I didn't sleep well."
Private hospitals don't work that early, so Luo Xiangdong and I simply lay on the bed and chatted.
I asked him: "Xiangdong, do you want a boy or a girl?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I want everything."
I glanced sideways at him: "It's quite a beautiful thought. You don't really think I can have twins, do you?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Is it strange?"
I didn't answer but asked, "Isn't it strange? Do you think everyone can conceive twins? In my family, we all have one child per family. There is no gene for twins or twins."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You don't have to have two babies at once. Just take your time."
Seeing how he spoke so logically, I responded to him dumbfounded: "Stop dreaming, you don't know how painful it is for a woman to give birth, right? I heard someone say it last time. Just listening to it made me feel pain down there. "
Luo Xiangdong said: "People are different. Look at my dad, he doesn't have my brother, my sister, and my three children."
I said, "You are not born to the same mother. Didn't aunt just give birth to you?"
Luo Xiangdong couldn't resist me, but he didn't want to be defeated, so he had to change the subject and said: "Okay, let's find a way to save this thing in your belly first."
When I mentioned this, I started to feel uneasy again. I asked, "What if the doctor doesn't recommend it?"
Luo Xiangdong also fell silent. Pregnancy was originally a happy event, but having a child is a big deal after all and should not be taken lightly.
After finally staying up until 7:30 in the morning, Wei Zheng called Luo Xiangdong and said that the director was here and that we could go there at any time.
Luo Xiangdong and I had already packed up and drove directly to Rongxin Hospital.
Sitting in the chief physician's office, when I told me about my drinking experience, the doctor suddenly looked hesitant.
Luo Xiangdong asked nervously: "Doctor, are you sure you can't ask for it after drinking alcohol?"
The doctor said: "Logically speaking, it is not recommended to drink alcohol during pregnancy, because alcohol will affect the development of the fetus, especially excessive drinking."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiangdong and I were both heartbroken.
The doctor looked at us and added: "But nothing is absolute. Normally when we encounter such pregnant women, we will explain the disadvantages clearly. In the end, it depends on the individual whether they will stay or not. What do you think? You’re five weeks pregnant, right? Everything is fine after the checkup?”
I nodded, and the doctor said: "Let's do it this way. If you really want this child, you might as well wait a few months and then do other tests after a while. By then, there will be clearer information and data. This was not the case before." There have never been pregnant women who smoked and drank. Are the children born the same? It’s just that we people nowadays pay special attention to the next generation, so we are scared to death at the slightest sign of trouble.”
Luo Xiangdong asked: "How many months will we have to wait?"
The doctor said: "At least we have to wait until the child is three months old and then seven weeks later."
Luo Xiangdong and I stayed in the office for more than half an hour, asking questions about every detail. In the end, the doctor calmed us down with a smile, and we both breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the hospital, Luo Xiangdong first took a call from Wei Zheng, and then from the Luo family, asking me if I had gone to work and if I had breakfast. Guan Lin asked us to go home again, and Luo Xiangdong replied directly: "Let's get married first. How can Zijin live in our house openly without getting married?"
I was a little surprised after hearing this. Although Luo Xiangdong proposed to me, proposing and getting married are two different things.
Guan Lin responded very openly on the phone. She said, "Don't you and Zijin go home for dinner tonight, just in time to discuss marriage."
Ever since I joined Luo Xiangdong, my life has been like riding a roller coaster every day, sometimes going downhill and sometimes soaring into the sky. Anyway, there has never been a particularly peaceful time.
From the first meeting, working in a company, acquaintance, acquaintance, unrequited love, confession, breakup, reunion, falling in love, proposal, and now even marriage is on the agenda.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is a typical idol drama about Cinderella's counterattack against a wealthy family. But only those of us who have experienced it ourselves understand that every process is so painful that others can't even close their eyes for a minute and dare not look at it.
After lunch, Luo Xiangdong accompanied me to the supermarket and bought two large bags of snacks. Then he sent me to work at the travel agency and told me to pick me up in the evening.
I didn’t tell anyone at the travel agency, not even Xu Yifan. It’s not that I deliberately wanted to hide it, but the three-month period has not come yet, and I can’t be sure whether the child is healthy in one day, so I don’t want to say it.
Staying alone in the office, I was busy working while eating all kinds of prunes, bayberries, and plums, and I kept putting them in my mouth if they were sour.
When Luo Xiangdong gave me the 'luxury confinement package' in the past, I just thought it was funny, but now it really lives up to its name.
My cell phone rang several times during the process. There were calls from Luo Xiangdong, calls from me, Guan Lin, and some customers. I was almost numb when I answered the call, until I saw the caller's words 'Li Jingyan' displayed on the screen.
Li Jingyan... Li Jingyan.
After hesitating for a few seconds, I answered the phone and said, "Li Shuai, it's rare that you take the initiative to call me. Why are you doing this?"
Li Jingyan's faintly smiling voice came over the phone, and he said, "Are you making fun of me too?"
I said, "All your colleagues in the company call you that. If you call me a girl, forget it. If all the men call you handsome, then you are really handsome."
Li Jingyan said: "We are no longer colleagues."
Hearing this, I paused and quickly said, "You resigned?"
"Well, I just submitted my resignation application to my boss yesterday and I'm honorably laid off."
I haven't heard the word "laid off" in many years. People of my parents' generation didn't use it very much. I laughed in my heart from whom did Jingyan learn this.
I said, "I was laid off yesterday. Why did you call me today? I told you earlier that I could still go out for a drink with you."
Li Jingyan said: "I don't want to feel sad secretly." After saying that, he quickly added: "By the way, you drank so much that day, is everything okay?"
What I was waiting for was his words. I let out a long sigh and said, "Lishuai, you have caused trouble, but it is still a big deal."
Li Jingyan wasn't sure for a moment whether I was joking or serious, so he asked half-seriously: "What's the matter? Do you want to pay for it?"
I said, "You can't just pay money this time, you have to pay people."
Li Jingyan asked again: "Such a big thing? Then you have to help me."
I had been laying the groundwork for so long, and suddenly there was a thunderous thunder and I said out loud: "I'm pregnant."
Li Jingyan said subconsciously: "Huh?"
In contrast to his surprise, I said in a calm tone: "Lishuai, I suddenly found out last night that I was five weeks pregnant. In other words, in order to help you during the pregnancy, I even risked my own son. "
There was silence on the other end of the phone. I could probably guess the expression on Li Jingyan's face at this time. He must be so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw.
After waiting for a few seconds, Li Jingyan said in a low voice, even with a little fear: "Really or not?"
I laughed and sneered: "Li Shuai, if you don't know, you would think that we have something to do with each other. Can you stop being so cowardly?"
I said I was pregnant, and Li Jingyan asked if it was true.
Anyone would think there was something wrong with these words. I also felt that Jing Yan had been teased enough, so I smiled lightly and said, "It's true, but don't be afraid. I won't rely on you, because I am also a talented person." I know, otherwise I wouldn’t drink so much.”
I meant it as a joke, but Li Jingyan took it seriously and apologized to me on the phone.
I said, "Aren't you still friends? You're making me embarrassed."
Li Jingyan said: "Originally I called you because I wanted to ask you to have a meal. Now it's better. It seems I have to ask you and Luo Xiangdong to have a meal together."
I said: "It's okay to have dinner together, but I hope the dinner is not an apology banquet, but that you can come to Luo's early reception banquet."
Li Jingyan smiled helplessly: "I owe you such a big favor. If I reject you again, I won't be able to explain myself."
When I heard this, I immediately said happily: "I can't do it tonight. You can see when you are free. You can start tomorrow."
Li Jingyan said: "What can I do if I am a homeless person now? Look at your side, I can do it at any time."
The matter was settled. After hanging up the phone with Li Jingyan, I immediately called Luo Xiangdong and told him about the matter.
Luo Xiangdong said angrily and funny: "Honey, can we not be so unscrupulous?"
I raised my eyebrows and said, "How can this be called unscrupulous? I didn't trick him."
Luo Xiangdong said: "You have tricked yourself."
I suddenly pursed my lips, thinking of the child...
Luo Xiangdong said: "Don't worry, medical technology is so advanced now, even if you drank a lot that time, you can recover later."
I said, "I hope so."
In the evening, Luo Xiangdong came to pick me up and take me back to Luo's house. This was really my first time at the gate of Luo's house. The car stopped in front of the villa, and Luo Xiangdong and I got out of the car and walked inside.
As soon as I entered the house, the first person I saw was none other than Kuang Yiyang.
Kuang Yiyang looked at me and Luo Xiangdong, paused for a moment and then shouted with a smile: "Brother-in-law, little aunt."
After the words fell, Guan Lin also walked out of the villa. She smiled and said, "Zijin is here, and Yi Yang has just come back. We told him that he will have a younger brother or younger sister soon."
I glanced at Kuang Yiyang, feeling embarrassed.
Once upon a time, he called me senior, and now, he is my nephew. Luo Xiangdong and I will call our child brother.
